FTL #102 and OTWC #19

I absolutely love the colors this week from the OTWC challenge: yellow, pink and green. As always, the inspiration photo is fabulous. I also thought I'd combine this challenge with the FTL for this week.

At first I was going to use some teacups from the Tea for Two Additions set. But then, I saw my Delightful Dahlia and was inspired. I haven't used this set in a little while, so I pulled it out for the challenge. I thought it would be perfect with the leaves in place of the small circles for the sketch.

Usually I either stamp the dahlias in color on white, or color them in using copics or a blender pen. This time I thought I'd try something I've seen elsewhere and stamp and emboss them on colored paper. This made for a very simple, elegant card. I added some frames around the dahlias with the Vintage Labels set. The sentiment is from Damask Designs.
